Most of Moscaglia's life was spent he Rome. He served in the Cappella Giulia until 1560 but after this date there is no indication of his musical appointment(s). He asked a number of composers with whom he was familiar to set his poems to music. These composers included <a href="spotify:artist:4usynB7KhMwPm78CLI86rn">Nanino</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2hxhp2g83CJyM46a2owWjD">Macque</a>, Stabile, Zoilo, Giovanelli and <a href="spotify:artist:3M0Vsjmhfly4PRGywWmNYX">Marenzio</a>. Apparently he did not think that he had enough time at his disposal to render these poems properly into musical forms. A number of books of madrigals by Moscaglia were printed during his lifetime. Most of the madrigals were set for either three or four voices. These works appeared in a number of different anthologies including transcriptions for lute by Joachim van der Hove. ~ Keith Johnson, Rovi
